Resumo: The American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) test battery assesses the functional fitness of older adults in five motor fitness tests. The objective of this study was to adapt and test the AAHPERD in institutionalized older adults and to define normative values of functional fitness for this population. A pilot test was conducted on older adults living in nursing homes, which confirmed the need to adapt the flexibility and aerobic endurance tests. The first test was redesigned so that the elderly person did not have to sit on the floor. The second test was changed from a half-mile to a 6-minute walk. The tests were adapted and tested in a sample of 92 older adults from six long-term care homes. The successful application of the AAHPERD adapted for older adults living in nursing homes permitted the establishment of normative values for the five motor tests. The adapted version of the AAHPERD is an easily applied, low-cost tool of low risk since it was adapted to the physical and functional conditions of institutionalized older adults. This physical test battery will contribute to the evaluation of older adults and exercise prescription.

O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar a AAHPERD para testar em idosos institucionalizados e definir os valores normativos de aptidão funcional para esta população. Realizou-se um teste piloto em idosos institucionalizados, quando se confirmou a necessidade de adaptação dos testes de flexibilidade e de resistência aeróbia. O primeiro teste foi redesenhado para que o idoso não precisasse sentar-se no chão e no segundo, foi substituída a caminhada de meia milha pela caminhada de 6 minutos. A AAHPERD foi adaptada e submetida à testagem em uma amostra de 92 idosos residentes em seis Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI). A aplicação bem sucedida da versão AAHPERD aos idosos institucionalizados permitiu a criação de valores normativos nos cinco testes físicos. Portanto, a AAHPERD adaptada é um instrumento de fácil aplicação, de baixo custo e de baixo risco na execução dos testes físicos, pois seus testes físicos foram adaptados para as condições físicas e funcionais de idosos institucionalizados. É uma bateria de testes físicos que contribuirá para a avaliação dos idosos e prescrição de exercícios.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Florianópolis, SC.
